A luscious lunch at Haven Gastropub, Old Towne Orange | Cathy Thomas Cooks

Posted Sunday, January 29, 2012 by Mona Shah

Our friend Cathy Thomas, Food Columnist at The Orange County Register, paid a lunchtime visit to Haven Gastropub in Orange and we are so grateful to have been featured among her picks for favorite eats! Read about her "luscious lunch" here and be sure to check out her blog online HERE.

Chef de Cuisine, Matthew Roman with Haven’s Goose Pastrami Sandwich!

Coleslaw, Russian dressing, house-made coarse-grain mustard, oh-so-perfect artisan rye bread, with pickled vegetables and potato chips (I ordered mine with a frisee salad instead of the potato chips, so that I could have two desserts).

Pastry Chef ~ Santanna Salas’ Butterscotch Pots de Creme

Oh, I think Santanna is such a masterful pastry chef. She pairs tried-and-true themes with such provacative twists.

Here she teamed super-luscious butterscotch pots de creme with chunks of pumpkin spice cake, candied squash, and crisp pumpkin seeds.
